What's the difference between blaming the victim and taking responsibility?
For example, a woman sitting in her own home minding her own business is raped. Only an MRA asshole would say she had it coming.
Now take another woman who goes out with the football team and gets plastered. Now, jocks are known rape risks. They're used to doing whatever they want and getting away with it. And she's now drunk and incapacitated. This is like climbing into a tiger's cage. What do you think is going to happen? So, does she deserve to be raped? No. Should the jocks get away with it? No. Will she likely get assaulted or raped in this situation? Yes. Will they likely get away with it? Yes.
Tell me, what do you think when you read about some toddler blowing his head off because his gun nut father kept a loaded piece on the coffee table? I feel bad for the kid but what the fuck did the asshole think was going to happen in that kind of situation? It's as predictable as the dog jumping up on the counter to eat the roast.
There's some people who derive a sense of glee from seeing people suffering the consequences of their actions. It gives them pleasure. I'm not that way. I see blameless suffering and it makes me sad. I see self-inflicted pain and it makes me angry because it's so unnecessary. It could have been avoided.
